I remembered I actually had a blog and came to have a look an it's been over a year since my last post!!!! And I was such a regular poster too......I have had a massive amount of things going on in my life this last year an half and crafting has taken a mahoooosive hit! Priorities had to be made for a long time! I still haven't been able to craft but hoping to start up again in a month or so when I can un pack all my stash as I've really missed it.
*
I've had a few health issues to sort out and also lots on with the business we had and have now sold (long story) but needless to say it was the worst thing we ever started.
*
Also since may we have made major adjustments to our home which are still ongoing now and why everything has been packed away.
Here is our new home or rather our old one that's been extended lol!!! With loft convert too. We are in heaven lol

Our house has been chaos since the beginning of may but we start to decorate tomorrow so it's starting to look up.

Here is our home from the back!!

And as it's been a long time I thought I'd share a few of my beautiful boys!!! Such cuties they are

Having a cuddle at chatsworth house

And here is a piccie of our beautiful new kitchen!!! It isn't finished yet or painted but still pretty amazing.

And one of my and my hubby at the races this weekend

And me with one of my very best mates in the world!

I know I still have a long way to go but I've almost lost a stone in weight too so things really are starting to look up.

H guys im posting my Dt card for Creative Craft Challenges 3 days late grrrrrrrrr, i meant to get it done and scheduled but i forgot,

Anyway its a nice easy theme for you this fortnight

Mothersday

So make a mother day card

And our sponsor is.................

Here is my mothers day card,

I used my new woodware MUM stamp, I love it, and i bought the DAD one as well so watch this space lol. the backing patterned paper is really old from my stash, its a bit peculiar so havent known what to do with it but when i put it on this card i felt it matched quite nicely lol, i hope you agree?

I added some lovely wine red organza ribbon and put a brad thru it to hold the bow nicely in place as i dont know about you but i always have a little trouble sticking organza down without it being sticky to touch,

I took a close up of the stamp as i love it sooo much lol, its a must i reckon for any crafter,

Good morning peeps, i almost forgot lol, As per usual im busy with work lol, its crazy manic and chaotic all at the same time, ive just taken on 2 new contracts and they have come with thier own problems lol i get all the good ones lol,

-

anyway here is the details of our new challenge at Cards for Men....Alan chose this theme and i struggled with it a great deal lol

Our theme is MONOCHROMATICso thats to make a card for a fella and it needs to be all the same shade of 1 colour!!!

-

Our sponsor is digital delights and most of the dt have used thier amazing digis but me im afraid i hadnt time to print of and colour in a new image,

Here is my Card for the challenge and as you can see i went for shades of blue.

It was tricky lol but i just about managed it lol (thanks alan lol)

I got out my old dovecraft masculine papers as they are some of the best masculine papers around, ive had these babies for years as i bought 5 or 6 packs of them,

the sentiment is also one of the first set of sentiment die cuts i bought when i started crafting 5 years ago, the image is also an old one, in fact the only new thing on this card is the twine and star buttons lol.

I hope you like my creation, i glittered up her dress with little dots of stardust stickles to give it that bling. and double layered the ribbon for that extra boost, to finish off with faux stitches and some lovely pearly gems.

Its my birthday today!!! if you didnt guess already lol,Hubby surprised me by taking me to the pandora shop!! i havent got a pandora bracelet as i was always scared of losing it, but he thought it would be a lovely gift and he was right, i spent a fair while choosing the correct bracelet/charms etc etc

My lovely friends got me the other gifts.

i was also lucky enough to get some c an c wire work dvds from ym best friend and the new rhianna cd as i love her, my other best bud got me a beauty massage voucher!!! and then i got some dvds,wine etc.

The pic isnt very good but thought id share my good fortune with you.

Good afternoon guys an gals, its flippin windy out there today, i can here all the wind howling away so im tucked away in my living room whilst kyle watches a bit of scooby doo!!

I havent had chance to craft this week yet but made this friday so thought id share it with you now as its been a few days since my last post,

im soo thankful the snow has gone even if it is windy lol,

anyway here is a card i made with one of my new stamps, she is a greeting farm stamp and is super cute dontcha think?

I have had a few new maggies and couple others recently in hope to bring that crafty mojo back lol,

I know i moan about the state of my creations sometimes and im not happy with them but this time its just the opposite lol, i really like how this turned out!!! i was gonna add some pearl gems on but ended up leaving it as it is,

The papers are also new from a making memories pad along with the ribbon slider thingy lol, again ive gone with blues for a change same as my last card, but this time a girly blue card, most girly cards have pinks in but i thought id go for something else.

Here is a close up of her...

﻿

And a side view to show off the doily and flowers, along with the blingy stickles.
